animatronic cat ears

Each ear (Left and Right) has 2 servos, Top and Bottom. Bottom rotates in horizontal plane, Top rotates in vertical.

Aim is to use 2 buttons to tell ears to carry out pre-set routines. A particular button press would make the ears to a particular routine. Eventually would like about 4 routines, so buttons would need to be multifunctional, e.g. with double-press or long-press alternatives. Extension project may be to add joystick control.

Two build options: microbit or Arduino nano. JavaScript code for https://makecode.microbit.org/#editor in this repository. Arduino Nano working sketch also in this repository

Current state Arduino:

Currently the sketch catears.ino does 2 things:

  • on button 1 press, left ear servos do a routine
  • on button 2 press, right ear servos do a routine

Current state microbit

Currently the js script catears_11_microbit.js does 3 things:

  • on button A press, left ear servos do a routine
  • on button B press, right ear servos do a routine
  • on button A+B press, both ears do a routine
